Master's in Engineering (Interdisciplinary)

Students wishing to pursue advanced study may be interested in the College of Engineering’s Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) degree. Graduate study leading to the MSE can be tailored to the goals of a student with a background in chemical engineering by taking advanced course work to develop expertise in one of four areas:

Environmental: Chemistry and civil engineering

Controls: Electrical engineering

Microelectronics: Computer engineering

Thermal, fluids, and materials: Mechanical engineering

With most courses offered in the evening, the program is tailored to working professionals.
